2025 rOGUE Gallery Programming
It’s our absolute pleasure to share with you the lineup for our 2025 rOGUE Gallery Programming!!!
Our rOGUE Gallery features the work of local, emerging artists who are based in or have a relationship to Newfoundland and Labrador. It’s a space that provides an opportunity for exhibitors to experiment with their practice, find their voice, and prepare for the next steps in their journey as artists. This year, the lineup once again promises some very exciting work that you won’t want to miss!! These artists are ones to watch!
Ignatius Baker, Belonging
January 31 – March 15, 2025
Belonging is a series of screen prints started during my residency at St. Michael’s Printshop in the fall of 2023. Belonging is about finding a sense of belonging through swimming with other trans people and allies in nature. Bodies of water bring together the trans and queer community, offering a place of healing, outside of the confining limits of the city. Away from the rigidity of institutions and their binaries, space is made to find easier company in each other. It is where I started to find confidence in my body after transition, a time when I felt vulnerable and like I no longer belonged. It is a space I returned to during the pandemic for calm and through which I connected to my queer and neurodiverse friends to find joy. I wanted to create a series that celebrates this love for pond swimming.
Community Programming
March 28 – May 10, 2025
This year we are excited to launch our Community Programming slot in the rOGUE Gallery! This six-week period will be dedicated to housing exhibitions, events, and projects from some of Eastern Edge’s partner organizations. Allowing multiple pop-up style events to take place during this exhibition slot, selected partnerships are afforded the flexibility to showcase projects that have not had a chance to shine previously. We hope that this opportunity will create space for important programming to be seen by the public, and to strengthen community collaborations!
Kathryn D’Agostino, A Meal with Friends
May 23 – July 5, 2025
A Meal with Friends is an invitation by artist Kathryn D’Agostino to gather together for conversations about community and sustainability. This interactive art piece encourages people to not just touch the art but to rearrange it and to sit with it and to sit with others.
Sitting in conversation with others around a table of food is a common experience and yet it is always changing reflecting the spiraling nature of simultaneously building community and self-identity. Food can be comfort and connection, it can also be divisive, and it has intimate ties to ourselves and our communities.
Raianny Queiroz
July 18 – August 30, 2025
In a world dominated by virtual interactions and fast consumption of images, this exhibition seeks to slow down the spectator and reconnect them with the physical and sensory world. This watercolor painting incorporates transparent fabrics, the exhibition allows visitors to reshape and transform their surroundings. It creates a living environment where the boundaries between art and nature blur, offering a tactile and visual journey that mirrors the organic movements found in the natural world.
Luanne Dominix, With Quiet Hands
November 7 – December 13, 2025
With Quiet Hands is a series of watercolour paintings that explores the delicate balance between tradition and modernity. Through a nuanced celebration of butchery as both craft and ritual, the exhibition invites contemplation of our intertwined relationships with food, identity, and sustainability, while contrasting traditional skills with our growing, modern-day detachment from food sources.
